Rake::FileCreationTask

A FileCreationTask is a file task that
when used as a dependency will be needed if and only if the file has not
been created. Once created, it is not re-triggered if any of its
dependencies are newer, nor does trigger any rebuilds of tasks that depend
on it whenever it is updated.
